Abstract: Asset declaration is a methodical approach to managing material resources that ensures correct use, upkeep, and process documentation. One of the most crucial weapons for eliminating corruption and conflicts of interest is a system of income and asset disclosure. Conflict of interest laws are also helpful in assisting anti-corruption investigations. The amount of political corruption in Nigeria is still rising despite efforts by the previous administration to reduce it. In order to declare the assets of all political office holders annually and save the entries in the database, the paper's proposal for an enhanced system is intended to address these issues. The information used in this study was gathered from a variety of secondary sources, including books, journals, and other websites. Findings indicate that Nigeria's level of corruption will remain high as long as the government makes sure that all political office holders comply as much as possible with reporting their assets. But every record that the impacted officials declared would be saved in the database for use.
